Problems with an If function
Hi,
does anyone know what is wrong with the following if statement? =IF(C2BL2;(C2-BL2)*BX2+BR2*BW2+BQ2*BV2+BP2*BU2+BO2*BT2+BN2*BS2,I F(C2BK2;(C2-BR2)*BW2+BQ2*BV2+BP2*BU2+BO2*BT2+BN2*BS2,IF(C2BJ2 ;(C2-BQ2)*BV2+BP2*BU2+BO2*BT2+BN2*BS2, IF(C2BI2;(C2-BP2*BU2+BO2*BT2+BN2*BS2,IF(C2BH2;(C2-BO2)*BT2+BN2*BS2;C2*BN2) What I'm trying to do is make Excel do calculations based on depending on the value in cell C2 in this case. As far as I know it should be possible to use several IFs like =IF(A=1;Green, IF(A=2,Red, IF(A=3, Blue))) or is there another function that is more suitable for these calculations? Best regards Bell |
Well to start you are using both , and ; as delimiters. It should be one or
the other. -- HTH RP (remove nothere from the email address if mailing direct) "Bell" wrote in message ...

Best regards Bell You can nest up to 7 IF statements. It appears you've got 4 which is OK, but I'd expect there to be four ")" at the end rather than just one.

For what I know ; are used as delimiters between criteria, truepart and
falsepart whereas , are used for "starting" an additional if statement. Am I wrong? "Bob Phillips" skrev: Well to start you are using both , and ; as delimiters.

I think so. AFAIK, they are the same. The difference comes between
continental versions of Excel and the rest. -- HTH RP (remove nothere from the email address if mailing direct) "Bell" wrote in message ...
